Lyrics

Can you believe that
It happened again?
From beyond the pale
Like some kind of revenge
This guy I knew
And everything he took
A perfect example of
One for the book
From a nice idea,
A disaster grew
A small time con,
This guy I knew
He stole from the dead
Now his goose is cooked.
When it comes to pass, it was
One for the book.
However did he think
He’d get away clean?
Nobody would notice and
He’d escape unseen
But his curtain call
Got him the hook
One for the road and
One for the book
But it’s so out of character
I heard some people say.
This guy they knew
They friendsplain away.
They couldn’t care less so
They ignore the crook
But he didn’t get far
It was one for the book
His fall was short
The pain was brief
His friends were all
Consumed by grief
But the facts remain
You can go have a look
Had anything been thrown
It was one for the book
Now the circus is gone,
But the monkeys stayed on.
They drank their own blood
They screeched until dawn
Pounding up in the attic
Until the ceiling shook.
When it all came down
It was one for the book
When it all came down
It was one for the book
When it all came down
It was one for the book
